On Saturday 14 October 2017, we are holding an event to support two much-loved community groups: Lifeline Northern Beaches and Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club. United by their commitment to supporting the people of the Northern Beaches, these two organisations provide safety, strength and protection – just like the breakwater provides a safe harbour from the waves.

Join us for a night to remember, and help these organisations do what they do best: change lives for the better.

PABLO PICASSO “The Taste of Happiness”, 1970

Colour lithograph from Picasso’s “Le Gout de Bonheur” portfolio. One of Picasso’s final projects, which he described as an exploration into “the confidence of an eighty-three year old man on the subject of desire and love”. In the last years of his life, painting became an obsession with Picasso, and he would date each picture with absolute precision, thus creating a vast amount of similar paintings – as if attempting to crystallize individual moments of time, but knowing that, in the end, everything would be in vain. Every work in this series is dated in the plate.

Starting Bid $2,000
